This reminds me ofIndiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, I thought.
Minutes later, the credits rolled and I saw the following words: Animation Screenplay James Mangold.
Surely, this couldnt be a coincidence.

Unfortunately, that was not the case.
It was just obvious that we needed to do it because we had never seen it before.
Actually, Mangold never even made the connection between the movies until we brought it up.
He had another inspiration in mind for the horse scenes in Dial of Destiny.
That show was incredibly formative for me.
I was probably 14 or 13 when it was on TV and it affected this movie.
And so: no.
My theory was not accurate.
Disneys Oliver and Company did not actually play a part in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
But, Mangold admitted, he couldnt 100% say for sure.
I could be reaching into the same bag more than once.
Thats certainly a fair observation.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is nowstreaming on Disney+andavailable on 4K Blu-rayat those links.
